Post by cfizz34 » 1 person likes this post

I would like the ability to have shared mailboxes dynamically added to my backup job.

Hi, your request is noted. For now, you can use a PowerShell script as a workaround.

Any suggestion on how to accomplish this via powershell if I have various backup jobs separated by last name into buckets like A-C, D-E, and the such and if their office is set to %term%. I have limited options via the UI on the AD attributes to use, so that is why I am using office at this time.

What are all the attributes or fields I have available to me via the powershell scripts to inject a user dynamically into a specific job? I only see these:

OrganizationId
OfficeId
OnPremisesId
DisplayName
UserName
Type

You can query all shared mailboxes with a „exchange online shell“ get-mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox command and pipe the result in the vbo365 commands.

Actually, it's possible to do this without get-mailbox, use Get-VBOOrganizationUser instead.

This script can be used to modify existing job, by updating it with current share mailboxes.

Code: Select all

Import-Module Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell

Connect-VBOServer -Server <VBOserver>

$job = Get-VBOJob -Name "SharedMailbox"

$org = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "company.onmicrosoft.com"

$sharedmailboxes = Get-VBOOrganizationUser -Organization $org -type SharedMailbox 

$backupitem = New-VBOBackupItem -User $sharedmailboxes -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox

Set-VBOJob -job $job -SelectedItems $backupitem

Disconnect-VBOServer

Any plans to add this into the UI instead?

The problem is that this doesn't work with the Full MFA method as we cannot query the usertype at this point in time. MSFT is aware of this and a beta of this API is now in testing, but it still can take some time before that is GA. Once that is GA, we can look into this further
